John Brown, 60, of 236 Harwood Ave., Syracuse, is accused of shooting his 27-year-old daughter, Sarah Brown, in her right arm, shoulder and her right hip at 4:25 p.m. Sunday inside the family's house, city police said. Investigators believe John Brown used a shotgun to shoot his daughter, police Sgt. Thomas Connellan said in a news release.

Sarah Brown and other family members ran out of the house after she was shot, Connellan said. The woman's mother drove her to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse, where she underwent emergency surgery Sunday night, Connellan said. Brown's injuries were serious, but she is expected to survive, he said.

Family members and a neighbor called 911 to report the shooting. When officers arrived, John Brown was still inside the house, Connellan said.

"Officers surrounded the home and convinced the suspect to surrender," Connellan said.

John Brown was charged with first-degree assault and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, both felonies. He is being held in the Onondaga County Justice Center. Brown is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges at 9:30 a.m. Monday. Police have not released his mugshot.

Syracuse police say they still do not know why Brown shot his daughter, who lives with her family in the Harwood Avenue house.

After the shooting, police said they believed there were other firearms in the house. They later learned Sarah Brown and her mother had taken the shotgun used in the shooting with them when they escaped from the home, Connellan said in a news release.
